Cheers to 20 years! Working Animals Giving Service for Kids celebrates 20 years in service of kids with disabilities by training mobility, autism & psychiatric service dogs task trained to meet their needs, and placed directly in their homes. We have now grown to serve 35 counties throughout the state of Ohio, connected nearly 200 kids with these lifechanging animals, provided educational programming to over 10,000 students across 20 schools and community groups, and found love in over 5,000 volunteers through over 4 million community service hours! 

WAGS 4 Kids continues to host our programs within the ODRC, now at Grafton Correctional, Mansfield Correctional & Richland Correctional Institutions. These early intervention services were unheard of in 2004. It is thanks to you that we celebrate our achievements and only thanks to you that we have the strength to continue with miles to go before we sleep.

On behalf of all of our families- past, present, and future - thank you for your unwavering suppport and for making their dreams come true. Help us to continue this vital work and branch out so we can add more children and their stories to our WAGS 4 Kids family tree. Your continued support is crucial, so we can continue to create life-changing partnerships between children and their service dogs. The demand for service dogs is ongoing, and with your help, we will continue to rise to meet it.
